IoT device startup Makerdiary are known for their modules and dongles outfitted with Nordic’s nRF528xx-series of SoCs, such as the nRF53832-MDK V2 IoT module, and the nRF52840 MDK USB dongle, which can be used as both a dev board or multi-protocol node depending on the project. The company has recently released a new entry to their IoT line with the Pitaya Go IoT Development Board, which combines Nordic’s nRF52840 SoC with an Arm Cortex-M4 (256Kb of RAM/1Mb of Flash) with FPU, and Microchip’s ATWINC1500B Wi-Fi controller in a 60.96mm x 25.4mm x 7.6mm package.

The board comes pre-programmed with an Open Bootloader for DFU (Device Firmware Update) and offers an SDW interface (via socket header) to easily program the board with Nordic’s nRF Connect for Desktop and nRF Util tools. The Pitaya is now available for $34.90 on Makerdiary’s product page.
